Default Are 1.5s possible with my set up?

My suspension set up is all stock in the front with the exception of cut stock springs and bilsteins. In the rear I'm running a MWC set up with the long torque arm, LCAs (after market) set in the 2nd hole up from the bottom, and the torque arm set at the 2nd hole down from the the top, and I've got sfcs, and a adjustable panhard bar, with stock cut springs and bilsteins. My best 60 so far is a 1.71. Since then I've dropped to the bottom hole on my LCAs and I'm going to pull my front sway bar. Do you think 1.5s 60s are possible with my spring and shock combo? I know they're holding me back. Forgot to mention I'm running a 26-10.5-16 et street bias ply and no skinnies up front.

Dont know your hp level. But my 98 is at 430rwhp and 410rwtq and I cut 1.5's all day on et drags, more than full weight at 3900 lbs and with koni DA shocks and a 6spd. So I think you are prolly right there, track prep and gearing are gonna be key. Best of luck
